    I remember when SFC was first introduced, I excitedly wrote a script to invoke it remotely so I could use it on a user’s pc when they called to fix their problem. To this day I have never run that script. This was in 1998.

      Its useful for fixing a Windows install after fixing a bad ram. Sometimes the utility gets corrupted so you need to fix it first.

      I think it would be a great idea if some of the immutable Linux distros had a integrity checker like sfc

      SFC has worked numerous times for me, usually for botched updates. Haven’t used it in a long time after leaving tech support

        I’ve tried using SFC multiple times and had it work zero times. One time after SFC failed to find anything wrong, I ended up fixing the machine by replacing the system file with a copy from a working machine.
